The only way they can compete against him is to deliver on the things they have been promising the voters all these years

Nah, they may change their rhetoric but I wouldn't count on a single campaign promise being delivered. The President doesn't make the laws, that's Congress. And Trump is a joke. There's no way he's going to have better luck at pushing reform bills through congress than past Presidents. He's making the republicans a laughing stock right now.

I can see where you're coming from. It's an attractive line of thinking to imagine the potential positive side effects of a Trump presidency but I think there are more likely and less risky scenarios for real political reform in this country than an egomaniacal shitshow of a man ascending to the oval office.

You never know when a subtle generational variance is going to suddenly swell up and lead to significantly higher voter turnout for congressional elections.

You never know when shifts in the way we use technology to get our news and shape our opinions is going to spark a grass roots movement that put's a man who's outside the influence of 1%er's within reach of the single most power position in the world. Bern baby Bern
